Apparently, back in the day, there was a really notorious tie in novel for Star Trek that had a lot of slash elements called Killing Time

The slash elements were requested to be removed by Paramount, and they were, BUT due to a mistake, the original was sent to print without the edits

When it was caught, they’d printed 250k of this “first edition” which subsequently became collectors items for Kirk/Spock fans, since later editions DID include the edits censoring the slash

NOW, I bring this up because my friend who’s into the original Star Trek found and was reading the first edition at the desk at the library we work at, cause we’re slow on weekends and we’re the only ones here. She laughs at it, so I ask and she tells me about the general backstory of the book, and that she laughed because (among other things) Kirk, who doesn’t get mad in the og series really, was being described as hot headed and apparently just getting into fights left and right

So I’m looking over her shoulder at the scene, commenting on the character changes that resemble modern fic-degradation of characterization for the sake of a shipping dynamic, when I realize something

Now, my only interaction with the Star Trek series directly was the 2009 reboot, and my friends hasn’t seen those and is only interested in the originals. As I’m looking at this scene, and my friend is pointing out the character changes to Kirk, I realize that this is the fucking premise of the reboot, down to the fucking alternative timeline shenanigans, the rank swap, and Kirk being a hotheaded fuck up

The 2009 film was literally based on this slash fiction misprint they tried to bury!

Im reeling.

I can’t be the only one who made this connection.

So I google to see if anyone else has, and oh yes, good, there was someone

The fucking author of Killing Time

…I feel like I’ve uncovered a conspiracy. I’ve still got 3 hours left in my shift and I can’t focus. The world must know.

I started reading “Doctor Who: Prisoners Of Time” (comic) yesterday and 1 really went all in on bullying Ian’s name.

people can personally hate morgana all they want but don’t pretend like the protagonist doesn’t love him . boy cannot do ANYTHING when that cat isn’t with him except walk around his attic going “fuckk this reminds me of morgana i miss him…!!” if you tried to get ren amamiya to spend one night without morgana he wouldn’t make it. he loves that cat that is his best friend for life dude

this is how I remember the four swords manga

i love seeing the difference between nuwho and classic who bc the revived eras like 'he just saved the universe for the 5th time, the lonely god, there are entire galaxies afraid of him' and then classic whos like 'in today's episode our favourite silly guy the doctor runs over a dude with a boat and beats up like 20 people with his bare fists. stay tuned for more'

sonic x is so good because they explicitly show sonic’s hobbies are sleeping, reading, throwing himself off mountains, and picking flowers

Reading a bad comic book run, but you have to read it to have context for the one you ACTUALLY want to read.

cheekbones? lower eyelids? blush? shadow?

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
